“Lovely Cottage in Excellent Location”



“A lovely cottage located in an excellent central location just off the A30 making it an ideal base to explore all of Cornwall. The cottage has lots of character and is far larger inside than it appears from the exterior photos. Nice country style kitchen with a Rayburn cooker which we really liked but some people may find strange if they are used to a normal gas or electric cooker. With a living room, sitting room and reading room downstairs there is plently of room for families or friends who do not want to spend all of their time together. It's central location means you can easily explore anywhere in Cornwall within about a 40 mile drive. There is a very good gastro pub 'The Plume of Feathers' just a short walk from the cottage and a couple of miles away down a typical narrow Cornish Road is 'The Pheasant Inn' which offers good food at very reasonable prices. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly book this cottage again. Only downside is that there is no rear garden, although there is a small patio area to the front.”

“Lovely cottage which is much bigger inside than it looks. Ideally placed for touring and a lovely pub / restaurant a few yards away. The service from Sykes Cottages was brilliant and we will certainly be booking through Sykes again. Many thanks for a superb holiday.”

“Comfortable, roomy accommodation”



“I sent a review of the accommodation soon after we stayed in the property. Briefly, we liked the house but felt some general information e.g. bus timetables, details of bin collection days and arrangements, nearest shop and route, and reviews of local pubs and restaurants would have helped, and given a more personal feel.
the local pub, The Plume of Feathers, just a few yards awsy, was excellent. The menu was interesting but not fussy, the food superb. Staff, food, atmosphere and the weekly pub quiz made for a welcoming experience.”

Customer reviews

“Mitchell is a nice quiet village with easy travelling distance to the Cornish resorts. The parking bay outside The Wedge was good, it was a well equipped cottage. Loved having the opportunity to cook with an Aga - bit of a learning curve but worked well.”

Mrs Wastnidge, Woolacombe, September 2014

“A very pretty cottage, which was much larger inside than we expected. Excellent central location close to the A30 makes it an ideal base to explore all of Cornwall. Good gastro pub within walking distance.”

Mr Hart, Littlehampton, September 2013

“The property was great and location was ideal. The owner was very helpful and pleasant.”

Mr Whitaker, Reading, August 2013

“Cottage was charming, comfortable and surprisingly roomy with some nice period features. Rayburn cooker was easy to use; even as a total novice to this type of cooker I made dinner every night in it with no problems at all.”
